is willing to bring up Lieberman’s stand-alone “before the end of session”.

Maybe conservatives could try actually talking about this issue — instead of ignoring it — so we can scuttle this disaster.

tell me you aren’t saying that the opinion of people she doesn’t know from states where she’s not running for office are going to dissuade her from doing this even though her signature pledging to not do it wasn’t sufficient.

on the policy and I agree with you that Collins action is bewildering.

Reid slapped all the republicans down forcing these votes

Heck Pelosi slapped the President down having the vote last week while he was talking to the GOP.

rudeness is a DC thing?

Tactical: Redstate *should* be leading a campaign to flood the wobblies lines with calls = and, more to the point, McConnell and Kyl, letting them know exactly how much cr*p is going to fall on their heads if they can’t maintain party discipline

Strategic: Collins needs to be primaried, and pressure needs to be put on the Republican Senatorial Committee to stay *OUT* of the contest. Not cause she’s a moderate – but because she’s egregiously breaking party discipline and undermining a coherent Republican message.

(I’d suggest the same for Scott Brown, but what’s the point – he’s gone in 2012 anyhow)

looks and sounds exactly like Charlotte Rae’s Mrs. Garrett from the 80′s sitcom “Facts of Life.”
How can you take someone seriously who is a dead-ringer for a sitcom charactor?

She’s not liberal. If she is, then who the hell would you think is a moderate? Compare her voting record to Brown of Ohio and tell me you still think she’s liberal.

Via Politico two days ago:

“My relationship with Olympia Snowe transcends politics. I would always support Olympia Snowe. It has nothing to do with politics, it’s all about a personal relationship,” says LePage. “I wouldn’t be standing here if it wasn’t for Peter Snowe to a great extent.”

BTW, that extends to homosexuals. They don’t have a right not to be offended. They want DADT repealed because it offends their sensibilities regarding their ‘right’ to openly proclaim that they are homosexuals. The difference between integration of color and integration of sexual preference is that one is a characteristic one is born with and one is a lifestyle/personality disorder/choice whatever you wanna call it. It is insulting to people of color to make such comparisons.

Also, visting a prostitute IS illegal most places. Abortion once was illegal and now is not, just as homosexuality once was considered a personality disorder and now is not; in both cases, ‘legitimized’ by a small group of people, self-styled elites. Is our society any better since these happened? An argument can certainly be made that it is not.

As for your assertion that ‘integration’ will ‘do so again’, have you asked the soldiers/veterans here what they think? I myself am getting ready to do ROTC; I’ll serve my country (Lord willing) whether or not the homosexual activists get the affirmation they want, but i can tell you, it won’t be comfortable for me. Of course, all this talk about ‘rights not to be offended’ and who is uncomfortable with what is all a one-way street with the militant homosexual activists and their supporters.

to pimp out the will of a minority over an entire country?

I know this string is about Collins but these bottom posts took up the DADT issue. Collins didn’t do anything that surprised me and her voters don’t seem to care about her behavior anyway. Like the sub-line said, water is wet and fire is hot. Nothing to see here…move along.

If DADT is repealed, the next step is for the US military to recognize gay marriage. How on earth is a gay couple supposed to be married in Mass. and not married in Montana once stationed there? As military members PCS (permanent change of station) around the globe every 2-4 years, most take their families with them. They are a close knit bunch and live almost a completely different lifestyle than their civilian counter parts. Before retiring, military members are told to “civilianize” their resumes because the duty title of First Sergeant doesn’t mean diddly to a company like Walgreens. I simply don’t understand how civilians have so much to say about anything that goes on behind the gates of the military unless they have served.

So IF DADT is repealed and subsequently gay marriage is then recognized, the will of a few minority gay activists will be using the US military to pimp out their will on the American people. There is no other federal organization that has this issue and it’s resentful for the gay community to use the US military in this fashion. Why don’t fat people take up the issue that the military doesn’t allow fat people? Why don’t the long hairs take up the fact that the military makes you cut your hair? Why don’t the staff of What Not To Wear take up a position against cammo? The States don’t want gay marriage and until they do, gays and their supporters will have to get over it.
